Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a test that permits looking at the inner lining of large intestine (rectum and colon). A colonoscopy discovers ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and zones of inflammation or bleeding. During a colonoscopy, tissue tests can be gathered (biopsy) and anomalous developments can be taken out. Colonoscopy can likewise be utilized as a screening test to check for disease or precancerous developments in the colon or rectum (polyps). The colonoscope is a thin, adaptable tube that extents from 125 cm to 183 cm long. A little camcorder is connected to the colonoscope so we can take pictures or video of the large intestine (colon). The colonoscope can be utilized to take a look at the entire colon and the lower part of the small intestine. A test called sigmoidoscopy demonstrates just the rectum and the lower part of the colon.
